Euro Conversion to US Dollar

You must convert any foreign currency, including Euros, into US dollars when reporting amounts on your US tax return. Generally, the prevailing exchange rate (spot rate) on the date of the transaction should be used for the conversion. This applies to both income received and expenses paid in Euros.

There’s an exception for Qualified Business Units (QBUs) that may use a functional currency other than the US dollar. If a QBU’s functional currency is not the US dollar, income calculations are made in that currency and then translated to US dollars using the appropriate exchange rate.

Additionally, you might need to account for foreign currency gain or loss on certain transactions. Refer to section 988 of the Internal Revenue Code and its regulations for detailed information. US tax payments must be made in US dollars to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

The exchange rates provided by the IRS for informational purposes do not apply when paying taxes. The bank processing the payment determines the final exchange rate for tax payments made in foreign currency based on the conversion date.
